Entry Twenty-Four: Swords of Revealing LIGHT

Last week before the Iolani Fair, the Junior Class went to visit the USS Arizona Memorial out in Pearl Harbor. We took a boat to the memorial, and the water was reflecting the sunlight into my eyes. This is because the light from the sun was hitting the water at a certain angle. The angle formed by the ray of light and the a normal from the surface of the water was equal to the angle formed by my line of vision and the same normal of the water's surface. In essence, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. In a way, I was looking into the sun, which is wrong.


The water, and the oil which is still leaking . . .
